elasticsearch-dsl search works only in debug mode

I am using the elasticsearch-dsl package in Python for my project. I have a very simple search query as can be seen below:

    s = Search(using=connections.get_connection(), index= 'registry', doc_type=['storage_doc']).params(request_timeout=60)        
    s.filter("match", postcode="SW1").query("match", forename="Brendan")                
    response = s.execute(ignore_cache=True)        
    print(response.success())
    print(response.took)
    print(response.to_dict()) 
    print('Total %d hits found.' % response.hits.total)

which works fine if I execute it in debug mode but when I run the code from the console I always get 0 hits. I have no idea why this is happening and I have spent already half a day trying to find a solution. Any ideas?

there is one argument in elastic "index" operation called "refresh" with three options. If you set refresh='true' then you will get response from index operation after elastic add data to index. From here: enter link description here

refresh – If true then refresh the affected shards to make this operation visible to search, if wait_for then wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search, if false (the default) then do nothing with refreshes., valid choices are: ‘true’, ‘false’, ‘wait_for’

The problem was that the search was taking place immediately after indexing that test data. Potentially Elasticsearch didn't have enough time to index the data and search it and as a result I was getting zero hits. If indexing takes place at a different point in time with search then it all works as expected. This behaviour is a result purely of early tests that we are currently running.
